The list of possible battering rams for the Fenerbahce: Morata, En-Nesyri and now, Georges Mikautadze. Jose Mourinho would have set his eyes on the Top scorer (three goals) from the Euro Cup. This is stated by the Turkish newspaper Milliyet, adding that the Portuguese coach already had in the portfolio to the Georgia forwardand Spain’s threat on Sunday, before it began to score goals in the German tournament. Although he has returned to Ligue 2, Metz French has decided acquire ownership of the footballer, to whom he already sold Ajax for 16 million euros last summer. The Dutch then loaned him out midway through the campaign.
Metz will buy him back for 13 million and then, most likely, sell it to the highest bidder. Has been demoted despite 13 goals and 4 assists in just half a season of Mikautadze, who came late to the rescue. Depressed in Amsterdamdue to the situation of the team and his own, the striker barely scratched the ball in the Eredivisie: 236 minutes in the league and 90 in the Netherlands Cup. And no goal, something queer in this admirer of Karim Benzema.
Because Mikautadze He is not Georgian by birth. His parents emigrated young to France in 1990 and had him a decade later. Educated in culture from their country of origin, Georges went there every summer until 2011, but the football he was already excelling at began to absorb him and he stopped travelling to Georgia. He first played in Lyonfrom whose lower categories he was rejected “for not being too big” at 14 years old. Then in the Saint-Priest, a club in the outskirts of the capital of the Rhône. And finally, still with 17, in Metz. 450 kilometers from home, his virtues had attracted attention. He is still 23 years old, but many things have already happened to him with the ball.
After two seasons on loan and a Lots of goals with RFC Seraing from the Belgian Second Division, Metz rescued him for his first team in the attempt to ascend. He succeeded, thanks above all to his 23 goals (top scorer) of Ligue 2 in 22-23) and 8 assists. Ajax had failed to turn him into an elite striker, but Not Willy Sagnol, in the effort to achieve a top-class striker for Georgia. In the summer of 2021, the French coach convinced him so that he could play with the country of his origins. Mikautadze had been reluctant to return to the place of his roots for a decade, but he accepted. In 28 international duels, including the three of this Euro Cup, adds 13 points and two decisive passes. Remarkable numbers, almost a large selection.
Willy treats it with the carrot and stick. He is determined to show him that in modern football forwards also have to defend. In some matches he has benched him, which has led to no small amount of criticism from the Georgian press. The other day, Sagnol called those who they insult him for drinking decisions like this. And a few weeks ago, the coach himself made his strategy clear regarding this crack project: “Mikautadze he is a talented player. I think the fact that it is emerging a little late is because When he was young he didn’t work hard enough. He did not do well at Lyon’s training centre. But he is beginning to understand that in order to get there “You have to work very hard at the top.”
